Kinda feel bad for the op tbh. That's what western education gets you. Basically gotta become a librarian to unpack the propaganda

Mao's bodyguard knew the five finger death punch and they used to hold dinner parties where he'd wow guests by making people's heads explode by punching them with the dim mak

Not that I'm a fan of Pol Pot, but I have to laugh at the idea that he had satin sheets and cognac in his tiny wooden house in the jungle.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 47 points 7 months ago

He had ALCOHOL. And fell asleep on a bed with SHEETS.

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 32 points 7 months ago

I mean, I'm not sure he did. He lived in a shack in the jungle.

No, didn't you listen to the "evil anti-freedom dictators" podcast? The one hosted by three great guys, Charlie, Isaac and Alex? They said that he built a giant supermansion/medieval palace/that one cloud city building thing from Star Wars and he lived like a king, they weren't "satin" sheets, they were Saturn sheets, he stole material from Saturn to make his bedsheets (at extreme cost to the people of course). And Pol Pot? He was actually one of the least dictatory on the dictator scale, Mao and Stalin and Castro? Even worse.

When my would-be partners refuse to sleep on my bare, stain-covered mattress, I kick them out for their bourgeois decadence

capitalism is when bedsheets and food

Real Dictators podcast

I prefer fake dictators like Cobra Commander and Baron Bedlam, thank you very much

[-] roux@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago

I see Real Dictators podcast didn't even cover the fact that Mao could shoot lasers out of his eyes... smh

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
